((Hey guys: I'd really appreciate any feedback or reviews if you read the
story!! Thankies!))
Dean had seen enough. Angry thoughts filled his mind, and he began to lose control.
"What the hell is going on, Rory?" screamed Dean. His head hurt and his heart was thumping loudly. 'This has to be a big misunderstanding.. she can't possibly be hugging Jess.. or involved with him!!'
Both Rory and Jess swung their heads around the moment they saw Dean. Rory leapt away from Jess' arms, realisation of what her boyfriend had just witnessed.
"What... how much did you see Dean?" Rory tried not to panic.
"Enough!" Dean said gruffly. "Tell me this isnt what it looks like, Rory..." Dean started to walk towards Jess and Rory, but then changed his mind.
"Well?" Dean clenched his fists.
Jess remain speechless. For once, no smart comments came out of his mouth. Rory simply looked down at her feet, as she searched for an answer.
"You wouldn't lie, would you Rory?" Dean started. "That's what your Mom said too. She said, oh no, Rory wouldn't lie."
Rory looked up at Dean, with tears in her eyes. "I'm... sorry" was all she could manage.
"I'm sorry too Rory. Tell me the truth. What's going on with you and that...boy?" Dean moved forward again, now he was metres away from the two.
"I... I'm not in love with you any more, Dean." Rory said quickly, then looked down at her feet again.
Dean became extremely angry. He glared at Jess and lunged at him. He grabbed Jess by the collar, roughly, and almost lifted him up in the air. "You've corrupted her, I knew it.." he said, his teeth clenched.
"Corrupted? You make me sound like Satan." Jess said, a bad attempt at lightening the mood. "Bag-boy, listen to the girl, can't you see you're upsetting her?" Jess put on a mocking voice. "Oh! And I thought you were the perfect boyfriend.."
Dean let go of Jess, giving him an evil stare. He turned to look at Rory.
"You'll call me, when you calm down, okay?" Dean growled, turning his heel and beginning to hurry away.
Jess snorted at the "calm down" remark and put his hand on Rory's arm gently. He looked at her, to see whether she was going to run after Dean, like she usually did.
But she didn't.
Jess and Rory locked eyes. "You're... not going after him?" Jess stuttered.
Rory shook her head, sadly. "I mean't what I said, Jess." she said in a small voice.
Jess went to put his arm around Rory, but she moved away slightly.
"Im sorry.. but I really need to be by myself just for awhile. You know, for the whole thing to settle in. I need some quiet time." she smiled meekly at Jess.
Jess' heart sank a little. "Well.... you'll call me, will you? What about Dean?"
Rory nodded, and gave Jess a soft kiss on the cheek. "I'll call you. And.. yeah, I will talk to Dean, eventually."
They stood in silence for a few moments.
"I'm going to go.. you know.. the quiet time thing." She shoved her hands in her pockets, she turned, and walked off briskly, leaving Jess standing on the pavement, his arm still outreached from when he had it on her arm.
He stood for a moment, contemplating what he was going to do next. He still couldn't believe that Rory Gilmore had chosen him.
This day could be perfect, he thought to himself, I just hope I dont run into Bag-boy.
